Milania Vaananen/Filippo Clerici (Finland) performing a triple twist lift at the 2025 World Figure Skating Championship - Boston, Massachusetts

In this lift, the man throws the woman high into the air as she completes three full rotations and then catches her at the waist to help her land. To see a slow motion video of this move, check out www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuTOFIVK6jc.

Sunday Challenge: Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion. If you would like to join this friendly Ipernity group that issues weekly photographic challenges on various topics and you have the time to comment on other members submissions, send me an ipermail and I will send you an invitation. Or join at www.ipernity.com/group/daysincolour365. It is a great way to learn new photographic skills, practice old ones and shoot photographs on topics that you otherwise might miss.

I was not allowed to bring an SLR exchangeable lens camera into the venue so I shot this with my wonderful bridge camera (Panasonic DC-FZ1000M2). Although this camera was not designed for high speed sports photography, it rose to the challenge.

Boston Marathon 2026

"The Boston Marathon is an annual marathon race hosted by eight cities and towns in greater Boston in eastern Massachusetts, United States. It is traditionally held on Patriots' Day, the third Monday of April. First held in 1897, the event was inspired by the success of the first marathon competition in the 1896 Summer Olympics. The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's best-known road racing events. It is one of seven World Marathon Majors."
